On first viewing, Keylor Navas was claiming this through-ball with buckets of bravery.
Diving at the feet of an on-rushing striker is no easy business. Many modern goalkeepers baulk at the act. Navas is one dogged performer, however, and with Real Madrid trailing 2-0 after 20 minutes, he had enough. "He's out like a Bengal Tiger," exclaimed the beIN Sports commentator as Navas slid out with his studs up and took out Rayo Vallecano's Adri Embarba. Keep watching until the end to behold Luka Modric's empathy.
Real staged a remarkable comeback, however, to claim all three points.
Gareth Bale got an 81st minute winner but it was Navas' early saves that kept his team's title push alive.
